He never cared to try.
Trump isn’t president to marshal resources to help people or to use government to protect anyone.
He’s president to dismantle government as an impediment to corruption and profit. Period.
This is post-politics, a perversion of the system by a person with absolutely no interest in serving as president beyond the attention, profit, and power.
It’s collapsing. And authoritarians like Trump feast on collapsing systems while providing a flickering veneer of normalcy
He doesn’t care.
He’s not president to handle anything, he’s president because that’s the gig that allows him to rig the system and destroy government as a public good while getting his attention fix.
